The Blackout Club

There’s not a lot I can praise about The Blackout Club besides some decent visuals and an occasionally good voice acting performance, especially in the introductory level. If the game was designed to be a tense single-player experience like its first thirty minutes, this could have turned into a cult hit.

The Blackout Club blends several genres together that are normally mutually exclusive and that daring approach results in one of 2019's best games. Its horror can bring your breathing to a halt. Its co-op is balanced and rewarding. Its immersive sim mechanics are smartly designed with benefits and detriments for every character build. On top of all that, the story, while slow to develop, is still worth the time it takes to unravel, and the world is oozing with atmosphere. Some relatively minor issues aside, The Blackout Club promises the best investigation is always the next one.

So to some up, The Blackout Club is a Fun, addictive 4 player co-op horror with a Stranger Things atmosphere and lots of paranormal paranoia. Fans of the genre will dive for this and its nice to see a brave new attempt at the horror game. With the new enhanced horror system being a plus I can see people are going to be very curious about this title.
